For us, everyday is World Ocean Day. We will keep fighting against illegal fishing operations and the exploitation of our beautiful seas 🏴‍☠️

Both in Iceland, and the Faroe Islands, Puffins and many other seabirds are massacred in droves. Remind me how Iceland is an ‘environmentally conscious’ country?

The last time I really saw sea Shepard was when they had that tv show whale wars. Is the Steve Irwin safe? I heard they were retiring some of their old ships. Do they still sell merch I want to get a hoodie. Also how come the show whale wars ended anyways

Hello everyone, I have recently signed up to volunteer as part of sea shepherds, hopefully the wait is not too long. While I could find a long list of works depicting the Sea Sheperd’s interventions against whaling, I could find little about their shark finning work. It goes without saying that a lot of the work the shepherds do helps marine wildlife apart from whales, but it would be interesting to find more info on their direct help of sharks. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Also even better, if you know of any direct action organizations that are against shark finning please send them my way, it has been difficult to find any concise opportunities. Thank you very much.

Hello Ocean lovers!

As you are aware we have been having some issues with Sea Shepherd posts having negative comments and Paul Watson Foundation posts in the group. So to try and fix this issue we have had a few suggestions that we have discussed.

We think it would be best if we keep this sub reddit dedicated to Sea Shepherd and its supporters and their campaigns. And try and keep the comments and posts positive for Sea Shepherd supporters.

For supporters of Paul Watson Foundation we think it would be best if all the supporters or people wanting to follow Paul and his merry men to the Paul Watson page at

https://www.reddit.com/r/paulwatsonfoundation/

You can support both groups :)

For the future of this page i think it would be best to let Matt be a moderator here and he can look after it. Ill be helping in the background. But Matt is a good choice to continue the group in a positive direction supporting Sea Shepherd.

A little bit about your new moderator:

Hello, I’m Matt - A long term supporter and crew member of Sea Shepherd. I’ve been with the organization for nearly a decade and have been on campaigns from Costa Rica to the Faroe Islands. I’ve seen the organization go from a vigilante direct action group ramming whalers to a professional organization using direct action to board, inspect, and arrest fishing vessels. I’m very passionate about ocean conservation and look forward to helping grow this Sea Shepherd supporter community. I’m a fairly open person so don’t hesitate to message me with any questions or concerns regarding the page or if you just want to have a chat.

So please welcome Matt to the page and we look forward to seeing both groups grow and be a positive change for the oceans!

Thanks everyone for your support

I know in the past in the gulf of California SS has been attacked by poachers but that video was a few years ago. Is crewing out there still as dangerous? What are the chances of losing ones life to the poachers there? I know SS does not have defensive measures besides non lethal methods, but if you got boarded how do you defend yourself?

Do they Station foreign military on board for protection?

Hello Sea Shepherd supporters and any one that just loves to support the oceans with other groups. It has taken a long slow time to build the group, unsure why i think we are pretty active for a group, Reddit must be just a tough one to crack. But well done on reaching 3000+ members.

Well done everyone, keep posting and making this group awesome. Remember you can post things other than Sea Shepherd like Taiji issues and what other organizations are doing.

If you have any suggestions to make this group better or any improvements, please let me know.

Stay safe on and in the Ocean!
